Do I have to be a pro to join a crew?

No, there are teams for every level. Hobby groups: Here, the focus is on fun, and everyone can join. Performance crews/formations: Here, there is often a "casting" (audition) to see if you fit into the team. But don't worry: They are often looking for potential and charisma rather than perfection.

What is an "audition"? That sounds like a test...

An audition is a trial training session. You usually learn a short routine and then perform it. Don't see it as a test, but as a chance to check the vibes of the crew. Do they suit you? Do you suit them?

I don't know anyone in the dance group. Isn't that awkward?

Only for the first 10 minutes at most. Dancing is the fastest icebreaker in the world. As soon as you struggle with a difficult sequence of steps together and laugh about it, you're in.

Am I too old for a dance crew?

Absolutely not. There are Hip Hop crews for over 30s, formations for seniors, and "Daddy Cool" groups. The dance community knows no age. Just check the course descriptions on udansa.com.

Do I have to participate in performances? I have stage fright!

That is an important question! It depends on the group. Show & competition groups: Yes, the goal here is the stage. Without you, the formation is not complete. Hobby groups: Participation in performances is often voluntary. You can simply train without having to step into the spotlight. It is best to ask briefly before the first training session or the audition.

Are there any extra costs (show outfits, travel)?

Good point! In addition to the monthly fee, there may be extra costs for performance groups for: Team clothing / costumes Entry fees for tournaments Travel to events by bus/train For pure hobby groups, it usually stays at the course fee and perhaps a T-shirt.

What happens if I miss training (illness/vacation)?

Life happens! In hobby groups, it's not a drama. In formations or before competitions, however, attendance is "mandatory" because the team cannot progress otherwise (gaps in the formation). Here, the rule is: communication is king. Let them know early on, and a solution will be found.

Find a dance group & dance crew: Hip-Hop to Formation

Dancing in a team is the ultimate energy booster. It's the feeling when the beat drops and ten people do the same move at the same time. It's not about competing individually, but about blind understanding, synchronisation and the incomparable feeling of being part of a second family. Whether for the stage, for championships or just for fun in training.

You want to be part of something bigger: You're not just a dancer, you're an important piece of the puzzle. The picture isn't complete without you. This creates an extreme sense of togetherness.
You want to perform or compete: Many crews train towards a goal - be it the city championships, a video shoot or the summer festival. The shared excitement brings people together.

What dancing in a group can give you

A second family
For many dancers, the studio is a second home. Here you can be who you are and you will be accepted.
Discipline & focus
Fitting into a formation requires concentration. You learn to take responsibility for yourself and the team.
Pure adrenalin
The moment just before the performance when you high-five each other backstage - you won't get that feeling anywhere else.
Teamwork for the same goal
It's the overall picture that counts in the crew, not the soloist. This is great training for your character and for keeping your feet on the ground.
Learning from each other
In a group, you benefit from different levels, energy and feedback. You develop faster without it feeling like performance
